Labour Party: Coalition should reconsider ill-thought through Housing Benefit changes - Alexander

Douglas Alexander MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on research today from the Citizen's Advice Bureau on the increase in housing problems and actual or threatened homelessness, said:

“This research shows that many families are still struggling after this recession.  For a Government planning rushed and ill-thought through changes to Housing Benefit from next year, the numbers already concerned about homelessness should be a wake up call for them to reconsider.”
